Elected Officials

Townships are administrative units of state government whose original purpose was to facilitate the survey and sale of land. The responsibilities of townships vary greatly depending upon the degree of urbanization. Some townships are densely populated and have major urban problems, while others are mostly farm land with associated problems.

The Township Trustees are in charge of carrying out the legislative authority that the Ohio Revised Code Section 505 through 505.94  allows them to do. This gives them authority to take care of the Township Roads by snow removal , mowing grass along the sides, and to do patchwork and paving, to provide Police and Fire protection to the community, establish Parks and set rules for them, establish zoning rules and regulations and see that they are administered as they want it to be, manage and oversee all policies and rules that they set forth as well as those already set forth in the legislative authority given to them in the Ohio Revised Code.

Hamilton Township is committed to fiscal transparency. 

The Township has developed the Financial Transparency Portal to give you, the Hamilton Township stakeholder, a transparent view of how your funds are invested in the delivery of outstanding services that distinguish us as a Signature Township of the region.

The Transparency Portal is designed to bring visibility, openness, and accountability to our operations:

Tips on How To Use the Financial Transparency Portal

• The portal allows you to explore budget and historical finances in a simple graphical user interface. The main view includes a chart or graph, a legend and various controls to view expenses by departments out of various funds.

• You’ll notice the title of the chart or graph you are viewing on top along with the account type selector. You can use the filter to see the data that is of most interest to you.

• To focus on specific data – like a fund, department, expense type, or any combination – look to the left and use the menu on the side panel. These selectors allow you to specify exactly what breakdown you want the graph or table to represent. When you select “Filtered By” the data filter pops up and allows you to turn-on or turn-off selected filters for that category – funds, departments, expense type.

• Keep in mind that some departments or expenses only receive funds from specific funds – if the department or expense is not funded from a particular fund, it will be grayed out.

• There are five different types of visual representations of the data – an area graph, an area graph by percentage, a line graph, a pie chart, and a table. You can change your view at any time by simply selecting the different type of representation. The data will automatically convert. These functions are on the top right.

• You can also download the data into a .csv spreadsheet or a .png image.

• You can share the data, in any view, on a social network or by email.

• Hamilton Township’s main fund is the General Fund which includes all Township’s departments (e.g. Public Safety, Recreation and Parks, Public Works, Community Development, etc.). In accordance with law, other functions of Township government will be reported in separate funds (e.g. Emergency-911 Fund, Sanitation Fund, etc.).

• Some expenditures or revenues do not track year to year. For example, there may be expenditure for a specific item or project in Fiscal Year 2014 that the Township no longer uses.  These expenditure categories will only be visible for the years they were used. After that, they will be zeroed out.

Hamilton Township Trustees

Township Trustees appoint/hire the various department heads to administer the daily duties of their departments, they set policies for all employees to follow and combine them with the laws mandated by the Ohio  Revised Code.

Townships were the “first form of local government” in Ohio and were plotted according to a basic policy for the survey and sale of public lands.  With the formation of the Ohio Territory under the Northwest Ordinance of 1787, thirty six square miles of township were used as the primary means  of establishing local civil governments in the territory.  Since the adoption of the 1851 Ohio Constitution, the basic form of township government has remained relatively unchanged.  Governed by three elected  Trustees to be their executive officers serving four-year terms. A Board of Township Trustees is the legislative authority and also fulfills many executive responsibilities as  well.  A  fourth elected official, Township Fiscal Officer, administrative body is independent of the Trustees, yet by law must work closely with the Trustees.  There are over 1,300 townships in Ohio today; some are large and some are small with varied populations.

The legislative authority  provides for larger townships to be able to appoint/hire an administrator to help assist  the  Township Trustees. This administrator will carry out the duties that have been given to the Trustees both through legislation as well as what they have set themselves.

The Township Trustee wears many hats during their term in office, and deals with many more issues than is mentioned in the Ohio Revised Code.

Hamilton Township is a Home Rule Township and therefore is allowed to set ordinances, have a full-time Police and Fire Chief, and a legal counsel separate from the County Prosecutor.  However, even a Home Rule Township must follow the laws that have been set for them in legislation and cannot change them or set rules and ordinances that would conflict with them.

Home Rule has given townships some extended authority. This allows township’s that have adopted it to provide services very close to those that of a village or city are allowed to and yet they have to incorporate the rules according to the previous laws set by legislation in many areas.

Township Government is still Grass Roots Government that is closest to it’s people.
